Default I finnaly got 26mpg

ever since i bought the car 2 months ago my mpg was at around 19-22 (80% highway/20%street), i used fuel system cleaner (cheveron, redline), and that didn't help, did the map whack, that didn't help, so i changed the spark plugs, cleaned my air filter, map whack, and reset the ecu. finnally my gas millage is at 26mpg, car runs so much smoother now too, wonder which helped the most???

congrats bro, i've just accepted my 16-20 mpg average, but i'm having fun where ever i'm driving to. the biggest MPG losing mod for me was the test pipe.

Very nice I think my biggest mod to getting better MPG was to place a Right foot depressor restrictor

i couldn't say because i didn't really gauge my gas mileage, but proly about 3 mpg. i notice the fuel gauge goes down quicker when i TP on and goes down slower when i put the cat back on.

How do you guys get such crappy gas mileage. Even with my gears, test pipe, and my agressive application of the long skinny pedal on the right, I still get ~22-23 mpg in mixed driving.

I get about 28mpg on mixed driving also, so thats about 280 on a full tank.

I average is between 260-290 on certain tanks.
